What are the chances this is going to be a Berahino situation where we wait until the last moment and start throwing a bunch of bids at them to test their will?

Seems too late for this now.
Med done, personal terms done, it'll just take a phone call and an email to the fa. Of all the deals that could still happen, this is the last one that we should be worrying about for time.

Ornstein BBC - Barkley turned Chelsea down.
Makes sense, Barkley would have just been a quota-filler a la Drinkwater or any of the idiots who have ruined their careers over the years by joining City.

He should recover at Everton and join up with a team in January that really needs him to give himself the best chance at the WC squad.

Yep. Basically it's us or nothing. Really want him even more because of how much he wants us.


I literally just came to this thread to post the same thing. Plus I want to keep the English core we have.

Already lost Walker, and Rose may go next year, so good to bring in English talent who want to play for our club.

Would love to just get this done somehow tonight, really think his ability to go past players with the ball in the final 3rd would be a massive asset to us.

really hope to get this done

he wants us and Poch wants him and it just seems like Everton are being shitheads it does remind me of the Beharino situation. Hey Everton he's leaving. Wanna lose him for half the price in January? Wanna lose him for free next summer? Don't be dumb just make the deal
